DJ. Well we are probably gonna rent some speakers and just play music off our Spotify accounts. I have a coworker who DJ’s on the side and he said he would help out.

We’re doing a DJ since we want variety. As much as I love live music, I don’t feel like it would accommodate the musical tastes of all our guests.

My FH wanted live music so we are doing a combination of both. We will have live singing during the ceremony, live music during the cocktail and then a DJ for the reception.

Bands can be pretty expensive and we already don't have much of a budget for one so we will be looking into getting a DJ.

DJ, 1000%. The only people who dance to a band are 60+.

We are having a DJ! A band wouldn't fit our wedding!

Neither! We are just putting together a playlist and my brother will be controlling the phone for the ceremony music and the first, father-daughter and mother-son dance songs.

Band! Live music adds so much. Perfect for our 50’s/60’s reception and guests did dance!

Definitely DJ. That way we can have a wider variety of music to please all of our guests. The two families have very different musical tastes!

Ideally, I wanted a mixture of both, a DJ with a live drummer and saxophone player, to play along with the music and add to the fun. We ended up just paying for a really great DJ.
